Monday Magic is a professional wrestling streaming television program produced by CyberFight and Pro Wrestling NOAH. The show first premiered on October 9, 2023 on Wrestle Universe.

History

On July 16, 2023, Pro Wrestling Noah announced that they would begin running a seasonal television program titled "Monday Magic" with the first event taking place on October 9, 2023.[1] The first episode took place at Shinjuku FACE in Tokyo, Japan and was streamed live on Wrestle Universe with the main event being between Kenoh and the Great Mummy.[2]

On October 9, 2023, Nosawa Rongai, Noah's booker, had announced on the debut Monday Magic episode that the promotion had revived the GHC Openweight Hardcore Championship and planned to crown it in a match between Ninja Mack and an unnamed opponent who was later announced to be Masato Tanaka.[3] However, Tanaka won the championship.[4][5]

On November 27, 2023 on the 4th episode of Monday Magic, Ninja Mack won the GHC Openweight Hardcore Championship in a three way match against the defending champion Masato Tanaka and Super Crazy.[6][7]

On October 28, 2024, Noah announced the introduction of the GHC Women's Championship with the first champion being crowned on the November 11, 2024 episode in a battle royal.[8] The first GHC Women's Champion to be crowned was Kouki Amarei.[9]

On the November 11, 2024 episode of Monday Magic, Titus Alexander won the West Coast Pro Heavyweight Championship after defeating Kevin Blackwood.[10]

On the May 18, 2026 episode of Monday Magic, Mayu Iwatani announced that she had vacated the GHC Women's Championship due to two fractures in her big toe.[11][12]
